seafront locationweak shower pressurethin walls

The location was fine, I guess. It was close to the seafront. (Though you can find plenty of places close to the sea.)

The room I was assigned was far from excellent. The shower pressure was weak, and it took ages for the water to heat up, a real test of patience first thing in the morning. The walls seemed paper-thin. I could hear every door slam and every conversation in the hallway, made getting a decent night's sleep nearly impossible.

I was grateful for the comfy beds. They ensured a restful night's sleep. The breakfast selection offered plenty of choices. I really appreciated the amazing sea view from the room. The staff was friendly and greeted us with a smile.

Paying £20 per 24 hours for parking was excessive, it reminded me of an unexpected additional cost. The pool was closed and not in use, a bit disappointing.

The staff was helpful and always available. My room was a great size. It was a Family Room Double Single Beds and was very comfortable! I liked that the hotel was close to both the beach and the train station.

The shower had weak water pressure. I also thought the carpet was a bit run down.
